Protek - 20 years old - 1st may

[Binners]

This is no mean feat for an Airgun Shop to be trading after 20 years. It just goes to show if you're not greedy and price things just about right, there is business to be had.

Congratulations Vic and Phil, from all of us sad old collectors on the BBS who darken your doorstep from time to time.

Keep up the good work in maintaining the dream for future youngsters.

Have to second this. The finest and friendliest emporium on the south coast. To the next 20!

Had not heard of them before - and they look good.

Yes quite agree "binns" speaking as one of the youngsters they have inspired me on the renovation
game. they have boxes of bits and pieces to cover most weekend refurbishments that went wrong.

Yes, a very good shop and great to see Vic and Phil reach their 20th year of trading. The shop is always busy and has a knack of having something interesting enough to come away with every time I visit.

They had a case full of boxed vintage Webley pistols the last time I visited, which had not been put on the website, so this just proves it is worth popping in every now and then rather than just rely on visiting the website.

Here's to the next 20 lads!

They do seem to get some interesting stuff for sale!
Never set foot in there but visited their interweb shop many times.
Good wishes to the next 20 years, to them and all good gun shops - times/ modern attitudes are against them!
I will always remember visiting our 'local' gun shop in Newcastle when I was a kid - the smell and 'atmosphere' in there while I drooled looking at the guns is still etched in my mind.
The name was Bagnall and Kirkwoods (still there) http://bagnallandkirkwood.co.uk/ today (although this isn't the original shop!), I bought my first new Airsporter air rifle from them with my apprentice wages many years ago. (having saved for some time)
Great gun shops like this are just fantastic!

As usual on May the forth, the shop will open a little later as Vic has his hair done like Princess Leyor and Phil will be washing his Light Pattern Sabre. Strange how they make breathing noises like Darth Vader when they are out the back. I expect BJ will be offering his services in his R2 suit and Bob will be just the right height in his tightly fitting C3PO gold number.

May the force be behind you

Just as well that this shop is 250 miles from me although I once drove to Worthing and back (from SHEFFIELD) in a day to buy a guitar !

Following publicity from an earlier related thread, parking at the front of the shop became increasingly difficult.

Sounds like the place for you John,

Some days I drive past and there is Phil sitting out the front on an old ammo box, sporting nothing but a Stetson and a banjo.

Live and let live, I say
